House For Sale £3,000,000
Description This exceptional and prominent village property provides a superb lifestyle opportunity being located in the heart of this highly sought after village with some 10 acres of gardens and grounds with various outbuildings, barns, offices and additional accommodation which in recent years have been used as an exclusive and very successful wedding and events venue () due to it's magical and private setting.
Church Farm is a Grade II listed property which according to Historic England is one of the oldest houses in the village. Some evidence suggests it has medieval origins including a rare find of a brooch belonging to a knight associated with Richard Ist. Later evidence suggested ownership by the Coleman family in the 1500's who eventually donated land and money to build the village Church. The current farmhouse is to have 17th Century origins and is a handsome and symmetrical double fronted farmhouse under a stone tiled roof. The elegant and characterful accommodation (total area 2960 sq.ft) is principally arranged over two floors and has been beautifully updated during the current ownership and now boasts a stunning and bespoke farmhouse kitchen with central island, a formal dining room, drawing room and a further family room used as a cinema room. Upstairs there is ample room for family living with four/five bedrooms and three bathrooms whilst plans have been drawn to convert the large attics (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).
Externally is where Church Farm comes into its own. The well managed and formal gardens lie to both the front and rear where there is a heated swimming pool. Also a productive vegetable garden for self sufficient living, a chicken run and small orchard. Church Farm has an extensive array of useful outbuildings. In the first instance Church Farm Cottage, accessed via the principal driveway and gravelled courtyard, is a detached dwelling, ideal for letting or a dependent relative or nanny, having its own kitchen, living room and large double bedroom. A further room with separate access is used as an excellent home office.
A nearby and sizable 17th century Tythe style barn (807 sq.ft) has been used a gallery and entertaining space whilst a range of former stables and kennels, arranged on a single level have been converted into a suite of offices. It is known that Barnes Wallace's famous 'Bouncing Bomb' was partly assembled here during World War II. Within the same vicinity are garages, stores and a stable. In recent years a former Cart Shed (581 sq.ft) accessed off an independent secondary driveway, has been granted consent to convert to a holiday let and once again would be ideal for annexed use or garaging and is currently used for lockable & firewood storage.
The land, once again, has it's own access over the secondary driveway, extends in total to around 10 acres to include open grassed meadows, woodland and some smaller paddocks. The land has become a useful asset for the owners, creating a stunning wedding and events venue, with open vistas and complete privacy which can be fully appreciated via the website . Equestrian users will appreciate the independent access for large vehicles whilst the land is well drained and ideal for a variety of uses. Water and power has been installed on the land for the events, with level areas for marquees and walks created for leisurely strolls. Even an eco loo, open kitchen and shower provide an additional facility.
The whole provides a unique opportunity to acquire a stunning home in a highly sought after community village with excellent communication links and further opportunities for income related activities if required.
